Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Falls are the most common consequence of low bone mineral density (BMD). However, due to limitations inherent in observational studies, the causal relationship between the two remains unestablished. METHODS: This study utilized Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causal relationship between BMD and the risk of falling, incorporating linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression for...
